RHBA-2015:0281-1: Satellite 5.7 bug fix update

Updated spacewalk-java, spacewalk-web, spacewalk-backend, satellite-branding,spacecmd, rhn-i18n-guides, and spacewalk-utils packages that fix several bugsare now available for Red Hat Satellite 5.7.

Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructures.It allows for provisioning, remote management and monitoring of multiple Linuxdeployments with a single, centralized tool.This update fixes the following bugs:* Previously, having systems registered to channels shared by otherorganizations and having automatic errata updates enabled on those systemscaused a NullPointerException in the Taskomatic logs. Consequently, theautomatic errata updates were not scheduled. This update prevents the error andupdates are now scheduled as expected. (BZ#1189932)* When using the spacewalk-export tool to export data for an organization thatdoes not exist, the tool displayed a traceback and then exited with a returncode of 0 and a successful exit message. The spacewalk-export now logs errorsappropriately even if the organization is not found. (BZ#1162160)* Previously, using the spacecmd command to search for errata failed with thefollowing message: “‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘split'”With this update, spacemd works correctly in the described case. (BZ#1180233)* Prior to this update, uploading a configuration file from a local computer onthe FileDetails.do page failed. With this update, the upload is performedsuccessfully. (BZ#1180581)* Searching the help documentation in the Satellite Web UI always resulted in noresults found. The help documentation is now searchable as expected.(BZ#1180270)* Previously, several help documentation pages attempted to display anon-existent logo. These pages have been updated to display a correct logo.(BZ#1180264)* The help documentation navigation referred to the Reference Guide, even thoughthere is no Reference Guide available for Satellite 5.7. The navigation has beenupdated. (BZ#1180263)* Attempting to view System Snapshot Tags or the packages in a System Snapshotresulted in an Internal Server Exception. This update ensures that the exceptionno longer occurs. (BZ#1174652)* If an error was generated on the Satellite when using the rhn-channel clienttool to add or remove channels, the traceback email that is sent to theSatellite Administrator included the password that the user gave to the tool.This update ensures that Satellite correctly filters out the password from theemail. (BZ#1005772)* Previously, calling the mergeErrata and mergePackages API methods soon aftereach other could result in a database deadlock or a HibernateNonUniqueObjectException. This update prevents these errors, which allows thepackages and errata to be correctly merged. (BZ#1005772)* This update adds the –timeout option the rhnpush command, which allows to seta custom timeout limit. With this option, user can prevent rhnpush from timingout when pushing a large number of packages. Also, the default timeout limit hasbeen increased. (BZ#663039)All users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,which fix these bugs.
